great shot

 

Yes thats a nice pic! Make a good add!

 

Thank you - its turning out to be one of my faves

 

Jakerusin,

i like your wheel decals (white strip venyl). what size it is? nd where do u get it from?

 

Radz,
I have an extra set in white. If you're in the US I can mail them to you free of charge, they are just gathering dust here as they were a backup set in case I screwed up. I ended up not liking the look and took the first set off. They come in four pieces per tire, and they were shipped too me in a long envelope, I can send them to you the same way.

 

You didnt like them?

I wish my bike still had them, broke up the tire/wheel a little bit, though I have been thinking about going red

She is pretty, they didnt have any of the fast colors huh? :stickpoke
Nice bike though. which exhaust is that? any other bits on there?

 

What type of windscreen is that looks great

 

Full list of parts fo the new 848

Well guys here's the full list of what i have had done to the bike:

• Painted the lower fairings and front fender in red with the new Ducati Corse logo put on each panel
• New Ducati performance smoked screen (30mm higher that the standard screen)
• Replaced all the silver stainless fairing bolts with black ones including the screen bolts.
• Scorpion carbon slip ons with carbon end cap.
• carbon exhaust guard, carbon heel plates, carbon rear hugger, carbon front sprocket cover, carbon tank panels, carbon air intake covers, carbon key guard
• Gold DID chain
• Silver Rear sprocket cover powder coated in black.
• Ducati seat cowl.
• Replaced the silver brake and clutch lever's for black ones
• Ducati performance neoprene racing seat (on back order presently)
• R&G tail tidy with orange LED indicators
• Smaller numberplate with the smallest legal size letters and numbers.

Thats about it i think.

I tried to make it look more like a basic 1098 as i liked the colour co-ordination better than the stock 848
I will take some more pictures at the weekend and upload them so you can see all the changes.

The stipes are 7mm, got them off ebay from shine graphics, Not to bad for like $8!

 

848 Hayden

My toy. +1 for Shift-Tech Carbon. Awesome quality and Guido is great to deal with.

 

I like the hayden special edition and your looks cool.
Nice Bike, pleased with it ?

 

Certainly turns heads wherever I go. I love the 848. The full exhaust system makes the bike run so smooth.

 

SYME, looks great i hated the hayden online, but when i saw one in person i changed my mind quick, looks great!

 

SYME,

Nice bike. Just one question. The small strip of the Stomp Grip traction pad you have on the under tank CF pieces. Did you put them there for a specific purpose? I bring this up because those strips are supposed to go under the lip of the top part of the fuel tank.

 

yup, I put it on the under-tank panel because that's where my leg rubs. Much more useful there than the top portion of tank.

thanks for the comments. I have a few more bits to add - EVR slipper/clutch slave, podium levers, ZG corsa windscreen. Contemplating if I should get a Ducshop triple tree and BSTs.

I had the same problems with my knee position too; even though I'm 6'5". I got a set of Acculigns and problem fixed.

 

Finally got some warmer weather melting the snow around here... so I got around to taking some pics today.

nice work red-line. she looks great. very tidy!

 

Hey Red-line where did you get that front nose decal i was thinking the same thing.

 

I ordered it from my local Ducati dealer.
Part # 43810001A

It was about $10.

 

thx red-line the rest of the bike is awsome,helps me decided on the white

 

You're welcome.

Funny thing is that I originally wanted a red one but couldn't find one in my area when I was looking, so I ended up with the white one.

Now that I have it in white, I wouldn't look back.

 

Here she is in touring mode.

I ordered the new Givi E300B White topcase from my local dealer.

I then bought a used pillion seat online, removed the padding, and mounted the Givi base plate to it as shown in this thread. When test fitting, I noticed that while not touching, the base plate came very close to the bodywork, so I decided to cut a sheet of 1/4" plastic down to size using the pillion seat as a template in order to have the baseplate sit a little further away from the bodywork.

I use my bike almost exclusively in the summer months. This topcase will come in handy for running errands, groceries, and those long trips.

THAT IS AWESOME! IM DOING THAT TOO NOW!

 

clever, is it a pain to throw the leg over?

 

Thanks,
No, it's not a problem at all. I simply adjust the way I throw my leg over.
